Nightmare firearms sale and jerk FFL

[NK777]

Dang everybody beat me to the posting of the link. Darn slow boondocks internet connection.

It appears the call from the ATF was enough to convince the FFL the error of his ways. I was notified by the buyer this morning that he was contacted to come pick up his firearm. Sad to think the FFL could have avoided all the damage to his reputation by just not being a pain in first place.

Sad that it had to go this far. Something tells me it was Karma time for this guy. It does sometimes come around and sometimes your lucky enough to get to see it happen.

Good to hear! This was always a problem between the buyer and his FFL, imho. The FFL was just being a butt.

At some point, I couldn't understand (not knowing much about FFL's) how he could accept and seize the gun and refuse to release it to you or the buyer. In my simple mind that's theft but I suppose legally it isn't. It sure isn't right though since he didn't refuse the shipment but instead held the gun.

Congrats my friend!

Good to hear that the right thing happened in the end! As for the guys reputation my guess is the locals alreay know what the online community is just learning!

In post #20,Sam invites us to check his feedback on eBay.Looks to me like a bunch of $5-$10 ratchets.That's hardly the same as a very nice revolver. He even burned a couple people on these; what a guy!!
I've never met PBP,but I would not hesitate for a second to deal with him.This deal has already cost him more in stress and aggravation than it was worth.
I hope this is resolved quickly for you.
Good Luck!

Don't be there are some real good people out of state and some good FFLs out there I recently bought a AK from a guy in Florida and the transaction went great.

I think many of us haven't ever met PBP. Somebody should organize a get together I think. Shooting, Barb-Q, etc.

How about martinis?

Jeez, I live in Colorado but I just joined this forum today, solely so I could subscribe to this thread and see how the drama ended. Now it's all over. What a letdown.

Seriously, congratulations PBP. Ya done good.

Glad it worked out PBP! there is a get together at Threat Dynamics on Jan 30th. It is a Saturday. Free BBQ, door prizes etc. and use of the ranges! I will post the link to the thread later today as the wife is dragging me out the door now! Unless someone beats me to it.

Very Good to hear. I am glad the headache is over, and the buyer has his property.

hopefully he gets it in the same condition it was when OP sent it.

Perhaps we won't need to start taking donations for PbP's Legal Fund, after all!

 

[BigBull 301]

Dang! I knew I should have bought that from you and saved everybody the headache.
Maybe next time, eh?

Will look forward to the link. My boss is interested in attending as well.

+1. I just can't believe that someone trying to support a business would act like that. Hopefully that guy won't return here.

Here is the link folks. I am looking forward to seeing you all there!
